Nepal is home to remarkable essential oils like Wintergreen and Spikenard. And through dōTERRA's Cō-Impact Sourcing, it's also a story of partnership, resilience, and real change.
Through dōTERRA's Cō-Impact Sourcing, these plants are harvested in different regions of Nepal, creating meaningful work for local families. Instead of relying on unstable seasonal jobs, communities are able to earn a steady income by cultivating and harvesting these plants.
The partnerships go beyond simply purchasing crops. dōTERRA works with local growers to improve harvesting techniques, support sustainable production, and strengthen the entire supply chain. When the oils do well, the communities producing them benefit as well.
Nepal has faced serious challenges in recent years. The 2015 earthquakes caused devastating damage, destroying thousands of schools and health facilities and leaving many families struggling to rebuild. The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation stepped in. Relief and rebuilding efforts have supported the communities hit hardest, especially in the regions where these oils grow.
It's a powerful reminder that essential oils can have an impact far beyond the bottle.
